If you're self conscious about your midsection, get this dress! I wore this to a black tie wedding and it was perfect.

Showstopper and comfy material :)
I wore a 6 but I probably should have worn the 4 -- I was too lazy to change! I thought that the size 4 would be too tight around the stomach area but in hindsight, the larger size bunched awkwardly and I probably would have looked better in the 4. Oh well, the 6 didn't look terrible and I still got plenty of compliments!

Extremely comfortable, elegant gown.
++ great fit ++ great material ++ great value -- Dress itself was a bit heavy when I packed it for a destination wedding -- I wore the 4R because I couldn't breathe comfortably in the 2R, of course, in the 2R, I definitely had more of an hourglass shape ;) -- The print is actually what attracted me to the dress in the first place, but IRL, it's a *tiny* bit busy

Well designed and crafted!
I saw this in store and *had* to rent it. It was a size 8, way too big for me, but when I tried it on, it actually fit in every area except for my chest. (Damn you, small chest!) I decided it wasn't somethign a little fashion tape couldn't fix. So I rented it, wore it to watch Hamilton in SF, and felt like a million bucks.

Not for everyone
I was sorely disappointed by this dress. It looked like something meant for a funeral. As in your own funeral. This is a dress that should be buried. Looked way cuter on the model and others, but was not a winner for me!

Cute sleeves!
The sleeves were super flattering because it covers my bulky shoulders and accentuated my tiny little arms. The length was a *bit* short, hence why I sized up to a 4.. it gave me maybe a few more millimeters of fabric that brought it back into work-appropriate length. The color was more berry than I anticipated, but it was still really cute and I got compliments all night!

Cute and classy
The eyelash detail on the bust was cute but annoying since I had to use double sided tape and it would get caught on the details. Overall, extremely comfortable dress that looked great on.

Classic with sex appeal
Modest thanks to the long sleeves Sexy thanks to the high slit and low plunge Pros: super comfy, great material, elegant but still sexy! Cons: Sleeves were maybe an inch too long, bust area was very big (I used double sided tape to fix that) I wore it to my birthday dinner but wished I had a fancier engagement to wear it to!

Beautiful, but not perfect...
The 2R fit perfectly except for the arms felt a little tight :( I wore the 4R and the chest area was just way too big. I used double sided tape to make it more work appropriate but then I had to use the restroom and well.. you know, pretty much had to take the whole damn thing off. Then the double sided tape lost it's stickiness and i spent the rest of the night holding my top from showing off the girls all night long. Beautiful eyelash fringe detail but not a perfect fit.

Classy
I'm 5'5", 130lbs, and I wore the size 2R with 2.5" heels. I regret not wearing double sided tape but because I have a small chest, I think I got away with it at a work party. Extremely classy - highly recommend for understated glamour.

This dress turns heads!
This dress is all glitz and glam. I got compliments after compliments at my holiday party. The best part is that it is flattering and forgiving at the same time. Like others mentioned, it is very forgiving in the mid-section, but compliments all your other curves :) I had a lot of difficulty with the zipper on both the dress I wore and the larger back-up size. I almost gave up and went looking for another dress because I did not want to ruin the RTR dresses... so beware!
